Comment:
Now that I've looked at it more closely, I don't think there was any good
reason to have added the asciidoc dependency in the first place. It was
done when the port was [changeset:d9e1b5f8231ba07f68c1ec3ba145773bddd49cc1
/macports-ports updated to 3.7.1] because the project switched to GitHub
and the port was changed to get the source code using an automatically-
generated tarball. Git repositories don't usually contain generated files
so it's understandable that the port had to run autogen.sh and have a
dependency on asciidoc in that case. But I don't know why the port used an
automatically-generated tarball when it is preferable to use a release
tarball if the project provides them, and ccache does. I
[changeset:78fd1dc440b5b94211b15e2c086ea0ad56df580a/macports-ports
switched the port to do that now] and
[changeset:0393c938b105ca339019408d07e143db59d3665c/macports-ports removed
the asciidoc dependency] entirely.
